Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens (EW-83J):
I was quite skeptical when I first ordered this hood. I thought since it is far cheaper than the original hood, it should be of low quality. I was definitely wrong. This is a fantastic replacement and very close to the original canon hood. Get one.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens (EW-83J):
Seems flimsier than Canon hoods, but functions fine. A bargain compared to the outrageous price Canon charges, which should be free considering the lens was over $1000.

Simple hood nothing more, price is much lower than the original which i find ridiculous given it's just a piece of plastic. Could be lower in $$ of course.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens (EW-83J):
Before I purchased this item a couple of weeks, I looked over several users' reviews. After I bought it, I found that this had no problem with my 17-55 mm lens. If you want to save your budget, this item would be a great alternative to the Canon's hood.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens (EW-83J):
seems a little loose fitting. Could be lined with felt or have anti-reflective ribs on the inside to minimize reflectivity.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens (EW-83J):
I haven't ordered the Canon version yet, as it is so expensive, but this cheaper version was a waste of money on its own. Every time I use it, it seems like I am stripping the finish off my lens. Not even close to the fit of my other Canon lens/hood combos (70-200 f2.8 or 70-200 f4).

Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens (EW-83J):
Compared to another 3rd party lens hood for the same lens, this one is a definite step up. Unlike another reviewer, I found that this fits perfectly, with a 1/4 turn, either normal or reverse mounted. Doesn't have the cheesy internal flocking of another brand X hood. I will definitely buy Massa hoods when the Canon hood is so expensive.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens (EW-83J):
I bought this because I had luck with the Adorama brand lens hood for my 28-135. Not so in this case. It's a bit tough to lock into position and when reverse mounted, it doesn't lock and only turns an 1/8 instead of the normal 1/4 to lock. It's flimsier than the Canon version too. I know the Canon version is overpriced, but IMHO, I think an extra $27 is worth it to have the Canon version that exactly fits the lens and works exactly as it should.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens (EW-83J):
This is not a Canon hood and an example of you get what you pay for.
Having said that, is a decent value, it helps protect the lens and of course , protects from flare from the sun etc.
My main use is for protection from hitting the lens against other surfaces.
The fitting or locking feeling os not great and some times it doesn't lock, it doesn't have the internal lining as the Canon hood.
At the end of the day I would buy this again, the Canon's is much more expensive
